During his interview with Women's Hoops World, Roscoe revealed that his daughter's name was inspired by an album of the same name. "I went to a Steely Dan concert in either Sweden or France," he recalled. "I always liked Steely Dan, and at the concert they had this album Aja, in 1977. I just like the song, 'Aja.' And the name, simple — you spell it backwards, forwards, same thing. I said, back then, if I ever have a daughter, I'm going to name her Aja."
A'ja (pronounced "Asia") later confirmed this story during her appearance on Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me! "That was my dad's favourite song," she said. "He would always play it. And he told my mom, if you were to ever have a daughter, you will name her A'ja. And when I was born and my dad was like, OK, A'ja, it is."
